The representative board community was an institution that regulate the fluidity of businesses in the country much like all the states and could go overseas, what they decided go changing or making a lot of life for the good or bad. It mostly a super State in the world of the economy.
Being the head of that institution was a place people could kill to have. Since Ariana was invested in fortifying the foundations of her business in sectors that was boosted by the crisis she didn't registrated any lost, in fact her not investing overseas strengthen her national positions making her a reference in many sectors of activities.
The fact that they wanted her to be the head wasn't a charity case she was indeed in all the country the only business woman that held the most input to the country.
The resent event around the world, the sanitary crisis which closed the countries frontiers enhanced her benefits while a lot of people faced bankruptcy.
From the beginning Ameril wasn't a fan of that idea she knew Ariana was everything without being place in that position for her it smelled bad news mixed with things she didn't want her to come near with. Rules she knew was easily overpass to have the gain, whatever life that cost. And in doing so the arms use was not always the one everyone could see.
In this case she had a feeling of déjà vu that persuade her that that illness wasn't normal.
Since she was the best in the business her nomination was just a formality for the others members. Due to Ameril doubt they still had to talk about it to decide if it was the best for their family, but what happened put everything on hold, now that she wasn't hearing about it she was sure that even the votes for the head of the bord was pushed back to an unknown date for no one talked about it anymore that was to show how desperate they were to have her.
"Yes, they called one day to tell her that she was chosen to be the head representative. She decided to tell you that in person the day everything happened."
"Wait! What?! She was chosen?! I wasn't... why didn't you tell me that soon? Why isn't it out there!?"
Standing up Ameril took a sharp breath like she received a hard punch in her stomach, she wanted to scream on top of her lungs, now she was sure they did that to her.
"I, I, look Ameril Ariana knew you didn't like the idea, she made them signed a paper that said she will be the one telling the world, you know must like her lawyers that was buying time to convince you, I didn't knew it was a bad idea, now I can see your point. Don't hate me for not telling you, she made me promise..."
Sighing Ameril massaged her temple trying to push back the migraine she felt coming, knowing she couldn't hold grudges against Olivia, Ariana was one stubborn woman who made everything she wanted with people like puppets in her hands, that she knew her wife to be.
She warned her that it was risky to be around people who are part of occultism, members of every kind of secret group affiliated to ones that was dangerous, they didn't even hide it.
To be surpassed by someone who belong to none of their dark groups without them fighting back will have been to easy. Whomever it was in that very moment that did that to her wife she wished them to root in hell.
Putting one in one Olivia hand covered her mouth astonished by what was plain as day.
"No way!That mean...Someone did that. I, why? How?" Short of breath she closed her mouth thinking how happy Ariana was that day. To tell Ameril was her priority, her face shone reflecting all the happiness she had in her. Never did she witnessed that part of her, but in a matter of minutes she was laying on the floor of the very office Olivia was in dying.

Serena Davis who worked alongside Olivia entered the office after knocking a while ago was listening to the exchange now seating with a shock face. She knew that it wasn't a coincidence the way everything happened she had seen similar case when working with her father where people would lost it all of a sudden due to the use of external forces. That the woman collapsed just after hearing the new never settled in her.
"I'm happy you finally understood. Therefore I reiterate that I don't want anyone knowing what happened to her. No one.*
Even though no one knew about where she was it seemed like they were waiting for her she had thought but was sure now that indeed thy were. Speculations where thrown out the first two weeks, but it helped to have a well-known television in you side to control what you want out.
Thinking fast, Ameril feet made the trip around the large room the huge carpet on the floor blocking the sound of her shoes, finally she walked back towards the bed stopping near the nightstand fascinated by Ariana beautiful face, it was like if she was taking a quick nap in their own bedroom.
Looking around her she felt nauseous at the sight of all the things hooked to her, that wasn't their bedroom, balling her vacant hand in fist she thought carefully knowing she had to play safe if she wanted her to survive.
All her life she has dealt with paranormal and survived now that it was directed to someone she loved she knew to be careful to not lost her.
Asking for external divine or universe strength
"I don't want any information released about her whereabouts they will wait to hear what they want but it will never happen. Ensure that everything is good and it will be alright. If there is an important meeting that you can't cover warn me beforehand."
The authority in her voice aligned everyone that listened to her you just forget about her age difference and just follow. She acted like an extension of Ariana in so many ways that it was bluffing.
"I, what about the meeting with the others members of Salton administrative board, the annual meeting will be in one week. Conrad already tried to take his mother place once, when he will know that it is you..." Blurting it out a bit angry about the man, Olivia didn't finished what was on her mind waiting for
Ameril instructions.
What she liked the most about her was that she treated her with the same consideration Ariana always do, she was never up or down with her voice as soft as possible she spoke to her even when giving orders.
"He somehow already do. I don't care about his childish behavior. He can run all he wants no one will take an inch of what she worked for all her life! Not even her children. She will wake up and continue what she love to do trust me. So don't worry about that."
Reassured by the firmness of her voice Olivia breathed out, she trusted Ameril judgment as if she was Ariana, she could tell her to jump in a hole and she will have no harm that she'll do.
She knew that she couldn't let her friend died or all he possessions be taken away from her. If she said that Ariana will wake up she was in behind her. As she hung up her eyes met Serena's.
"This is not good." Serena's voice muttered her hands in her laps. While her eyes reflected fear she tried her best to keep it at bay.
Approvingly Olivia leaned back shuting her eyes she didn't knew that it could be stressful to be in Ariana position everything goes so fast it sometimes made her dizzy. But the woman always manage it making her seemed so calm and have time for her family that for Olivia it was an adjustment she had to do in order to be able to have time with hers.
"I'm Afraid. Make sure nothing goes out about her. If they question we stick to the first statement. She's focuses on new business. We can't have them know where she is, thanks to Scott and Corbin to have retrieved her from here without anyone knowing. We have to stay positive though, I wish I knew something about this board community thing."
